The “Hide login page, Hide wp admin – stop attack on login page” plugin for WordPress was developed to enhance website security by allowing administrators to change the default login URLs (wp-login.php and wp-admin) to custom paths. This approach aimed to protect sites from unauthorized access and brute-force attacks by obscuring standard login endpoints. However, as of July 16, 2024, the plugin has been closed and is no longer available for download due to security concerns. Users reported issues such as unintended blocking of legitimate pages and insufficient protection against certain attack vectors. Given its discontinued status and the potential risks associated with its use, it’s advisable to consider alternative, actively maintained plugins for securing your WordPress login page. One such alternative is WPS Hide Login, which offers similar functionality and is regularly updated to address security and compatibility concerns.
